Subject: You mean to say that when humans do a opening preparation it's a trap?!

Does it mean that games played by humans, especially GM's who study openings day
and night, that when they study the games of their opponents and to find out
which openings they play well, and then avoid it completely it's a trap. That's
a very loose definition. A trap in chess is defined as a swindle where the
player falls for a tactical mistake. Because chess engines are less likely to
fall into tactical traps then your definition is wrong. The better word would be
Chess Tiger fell into some HOME PREPARED ANALYSIS. BUT if that's true, then
praise should be given to the Quest team for having done the homework. I believe
that one should not make excuses for failures.
